group of scientists say they have discovered “Australia’s Jurassic Park” along the rocky shores of Kimberly, a remote region in Western Australia. As Jonathan Amos reports for the BBC, palaeontologists found a diverse collection of dinosaur footprints in the area—among them the largest dinosaur footprint known to science.
The research team, which was comprised of palaeontologists from the University of Queensland and James Cook University, recorded twenty-one types of fossil footprints stamped into the sandstones of the Dampier Peninsula. They recently published their findings in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
“There were five different types of predatory dinosaur tracks, at least six types of tracks from long-necked herbivorous sauropods, four types of tracks from two-legged herbivorous ornithopods, and six types of tracks from armoured dinosaurs,” lead researcher Steven Salisbury says in a statement. The tracks also provide the only known evidence of stegosaurs in Australia, Salisbury notes.

A degree in paleontology could abolish your skepticism.
Dating is done using a rather large number of isotopes. 200?
Dating is usually performed using more than one isotope to compare estimated ages
Carbon 14 is much more accurate than it used to be due to our ability to measure billionths of something.
There were dinosaurs runnning around Ankor Wat 800 years ago?
“I’m guessing the critter that left that track wasn’t worried about predators.”
Oh, but you should see the predators.
How did the dinosaurs swim to Australia which is not connected to other continents?
OTOH Asia, Africa & America’s were connected by land.
There’s more than plenty of scientific proof out there if you’re willing to look it up of humans and dinosaurs coexisting together.
Mayan pyramids, ruins in South America, even in the Bible the book of Job clearly describes two now extinct “dinosaurs” that Job was familiar with during his years alive.
Modern man in their arrogance think they have it all figured out and in reality we’re about the most clueless generation to walk the earth in a very long time.
Lol
You are full of it
Please do your homework before posting.
ROTFLMAO
I wonder which one was holding on to the leash...
Your post = proof of that arrogance.
LOL!
LOL you’re full of it too.
Where and when did the dinosaurs and man walk together?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the day that both were made. Both were made on the same day. Check the manufacturer’s manual!
Lol
FR is full of indoctrinated & brainwashed non-thinkers these days
famous Angkor Wat carvings. The upper animal seems to be a wild cow "banteng" and the lower one with similar horn seems to be a banteng with leaves in the background. If it were a dinosaur, I suspect there would be far more than one carving. A stegosaurus would make a really big impression on folks and merit many carvings.
